The Inabaknon language, also known as the Abaknon language or the Capul language (according to the Summer Institute of Linguistics' Ethnologue, alternative names for this language include: Abaknon, Abaknon Sama, Capul, Capuleño, Kapul, Sama) is a language primarily spoken in the Island Municipality of Capul, Northern Samar in the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines.
Unlike the other indigenous languages of the Eastern Visayas, namely Waray-Waray and Cebuano, Inabaknon is not classified as a Visayan language but is rather grouped with the Sama–Bajaw languages.
